John 6:53-58

Goodspeed(i) 53 Then Jesus said to them, "I tell you, if you do not eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no self-existent life. 54 Whoever lives on my flesh and drinks my blood possesses eternal life, and I will raise him to life on the Last Day. 55 For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. 56 Whoever lives on my flesh and drinks my blood remains united to me and I remain united to him. 57 Just as the living Father has sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he who lives on me will live because of me. 58 This is the bread that has come down out of heaven—not like that which your forefathers ate and yet died. Whoever lives on this bread will live forever."
